I NOTICED A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD ABOVE THE DASHBOARD MAKING IT DIFFICULT/ANNOYING TO SEE. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO THE DASHBOARD MELTING AND LOSING THE "GRAINY" EFFECT WHICH REDUCED THE GLARE. THE DASH IS STICKY AND VERY REFLECTIVE IN THE WINDSHIELD. *TR
2006 SUBARU OUTBACK SW. COMING HOME ON THE FREEWAY, I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE. SINCE MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND I DID BUY IT BRAND NEW, I COULDN'T IMAGINE IT WAS THE MUFFLER AS THAT IS WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE. UPON LOOKING UNDER THE CAR IN MY GARAGE, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A BOLT CONNECTING THE RIGHT REAR TIRE TO THE AXLE MISSING, APPEARING AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN SEVERED OFF. IT IS PARKED IN A LOCKED GARAGE EVERYDAY AND NOW THE AXLE IS DROOPING BELOW THE HOLE WHERE THE BOLT SHOULD BE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALER TO REPAIR THIS. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR AS I KNOW IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SHOULD THE TIRE COME OFF. *TR
